The deeper into the territory of Shaanxi, the more uncomfortable the scene seen by the two people, the people here, in addition to suffering from natural disasters, have also been plagued by man-made disasters, because there are peasant rebels everywhere, so the two often encounter some small-scale battles, either between the rebel army and the official army, or the rebel army is fighting with each other for turf.

After another day's journey, the two people finally came to Ansai, after coming to Ansai, the two of them saw a great change, although there was also a drought here, but there were no officials here to expropriate and expropriate, so the people lived relatively better than other places, although relatively better, but only compared to other places in Shaanxi.

Without too many twists and turns, Xiang Luyang and Shen Aotian found Gao Yingxiang's home, when they came to Gao Yingxiang's house, the low and dilapidated courtyard was still with a tall spiritual shed, seeing this scene, Xiang Luyang said to Shen Aotian: "This thing is strange, look at my eyes for a while." ”

Shen Aotian nodded, he also knew that today's incident was a little unusual, it stands to reason that from sending someone to deliver a letter to Gao Biying, to Gao Biying rushing back here, at least it will take more than a month to delay on the road, on such a hot day, people die for a month and are not buried, there must be a reason for this.

Looking at the crowd in the courtyard, as well as the guests coming in and out of the door, Xiang Luyang and the others bolted their horses to the tree next to them, and walked into the courtyard.

When they came to the coffin, Xiang Luyang and Shen Aotian bowed three times to the coffin, and then found a cool corner in the courtyard and sat down.

After sitting down, Shen Aotian said to Xiang Luyang: "How do I feel, there is no one in charge here!" ”

Xiang Luyang said: "There is indeed no one in charge here, I guess these people in charge should all get together to discuss something at this time." ”

Shen Aotian said: "If you don't deal with the funeral, what do these people have to discuss!" ”

Xiang Luyang said: "Maybe the customs are different, or maybe they are discussing how to deal with this funeral." ”

Extremely bored, Xiang Luyang and Shen Aotian walked out of the small courtyard and began to wander around this small town, although they encountered natural and man-made disasters, but people still have to live, so the small shops on the street are also open.

Xiang Luyang and Shen Aotian walked into a tavern, sat down and beckoned the boss to serve the food, and asked for two appetizers casually, and after a pot of wine, Shen Aotian began to chat with the boss.

"You pub, why don't you even have a guy, I see before and after, why are you two husband and wife busy?" Shen Aotian said.

The boss said: "In these years, it is not easy to feed this family, so it is okay to raise idlers." ”

Shen Aotian said: "I have walked most of Shaanxi, I think that the people here are not bad, and people in other places have already gone out to escape the famine." ”

The boss sighed and said: "We're also fast, Uncle Gao is dead, and his subordinates began to fight for power, I heard that last night, Uncle Gao's sister was invited back, and now she is in the Houshan barracks, discussing with the leaders what to do next, if the discussion is clear, it will be easy to do, if the discussion does not work, it will be a matter of time before our side becomes chaotic." ”

Shen Aotian said: "What else is there to discuss or not, let's nominate a leader and continue to go down!" ”

The boss said: "It would be nice if it was really that simple, when Uncle Gao was alive, the people who fought the main battle and those who advocated Zhao'an were on the same page, but at that time, Uncle Gao was pressing, and there was no trouble." ”

"Now that Uncle Gao is dead, the people who are fighting the main battle say that the people who advocate Zhao'an have harmed Uncle Gao, and the people who advocate Zhao'an say that the people who are in the main battle have killed Uncle Gao, and now the two groups of people may have a fight at any time."

After understanding the general situation of the matter, Xiang Luyang and Shen Aotian hurriedly ate a few bites of food, and went straight to the Houshan military camp in the mouth of the boss.

Outside this so-called barracks, Xiang Luyang finally knew the current situation of the peasant rebel army, which was more of a refugee camp than a military camp.

A group of people dressed in tatters gathered together in groups of three or five, holding all kinds of weapons in their hands, some sitting on the ground, some wandering back and forth, and there was no appearance of a military camp at all.

Looking at the outfits of these people in front of him, and then at the clothes on the two of them, Shen Aotian said to Xiang Luyang: "Do we put on makeup and blend in, or do we let them report and walk in directly?" ”

Xiang Luyang said: "Let them report, after all, this was originally Brother Gao's territory, although he is no longer here, but we can't sneak in sneak in for the first time." ”

Shen Aotian nodded, and walked over to the guard standing guard, "Go and inform the head of your family, just say that Uncle Gao's former friend, Xiang Luyang, came to pay a visit." ”

When the guard heard that it was Gao Yingxiang's former friend, he didn't dare to slack off, so he ran straight inside to report the news.

After half a pillar of incense, Xiang Luyang saw a fiery red figure, rushing towards him from the barracks, and immediately threw himself into his arms, and began to cry bitterly.

This is the first time Gao Biying has cried after knowing that her brother was killed, although she knows that what she and others have done, there is a possibility of losing her life at any time, Gao Biying has long been prepared, so since she came back, she has always been very strong, even before she was about to see Xiang Luyang just now, she wanted to continue to be strong, but the moment she saw Xiang Luyang, Gao Biying could no longer control her feelings.

After crying for a while, Gao Biying wiped away her tears and said a little embarrassed: "I was a little excited just now, don't be surprised!" ”

Xiang Luyang smiled and said, "Don't say such things between us." ”

Gao Biying said: "You guys came so fast, I just arrived last night, and you came here today." ”

Shen Aotian said: "After receiving Wu Ran's notice, the boss took me day and night and followed, I am afraid that you will have something wrong!" ”

Gao Biying's face flushed, she knew that Shen Aotian's words meant to make fun of her, but she still felt sweet in her heart, because according to the time, Xiang Luyang arrived here at this time, although it was not day and night, but it was also a quick horse.

Xiang Luyang said to Shen Aotian: "It seems that I haven't tired you all the way, there is so much nonsense." ”

Hearing Xiang Luyang say this, Gao Biying hurriedly said: "By the way, you have been on the road for so many days, hurry up and follow me in to rest and rest, if you have anything to say, let's go inside." ”
